Ryan O'Hearn Sent Down, Jorge Bonifacio Called Up
5 years agoThe Kansas City Royals optioned first baseman Ryan O'Hearn to Triple-A Omaha on Friday and recalled outfielder Jorge Bonifacio from Omaha in a corresponding move. O'Hearn was struggling to a slash line of .188/.286/.333 with six homers, 18 runs and 18 RBI, so he had no business being in fantasy lineups. Lucas Duda should see regular starts at first base now and is a power option in AL-only leagues. Bonifacio was hitting .195/250/.395 with 11 home runs and 28 RBI in 58 games for Omaha before his call-up. He has some sneaky power but won't play enough to warrant attention in mixed leagues. He's a low-upside DFS consideration while hitting seventh against Twins starter Kyle Gibson on Friday night.
